g. d. Bassett near Fl. MacCoy, in Marion

Bassett was truly an old timer, coming to Flor

He carried the U. 8. Mail from st. Augustine
TO Tallahassee when there wasn't but two post
Offices on the route, one al Columbus and the
other at Palatka.
He was citizen of Hamilton county for over
nifty years where he married Aurora fowler, and
raised large family of children He had made
himself comfortable home-but the war COM
ing on in his declining days reduced him to pow
erty from which he never rose, and he spent his
last days with his favorite son in Marion county.

THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BE A
TRAyELED MAN.
The feeling is growing, particularly
in the West, that no man ought to be
President of the United States who
il in practical ignorance of the great
extent, varied resources and manifold
needs of his country. Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration is daily strength
ening that feeling. Granting that
the President 10 q sincere man, it is
evident that his lack of travel, his un-
acquaintance with the Middle West,
the South, and the Pacific States and
Territories, units him to pass upon
measures Of Importance and interest
TO these great regions. A man who
never saw the capital until after his
election, who has never been to the
Mississippi River, the Cult of Mexico,
or the Pacific Ocean-who, in short,
has never seen the fiftieth part of the
country over which he presides-
ought sot to be intrusted with the
greatest Office in the nations gift.
''Publio Office" he rightly says, sis
public trust"
Had Mr.. Cleveland ever spent even
. few days in Idaho and the other
Territories, it is hardly possible that
he would have permitted Commits
sioner Sparks to outrage and harrass
settlers - he has done. Indeed, it is
probable he would have been ready
10 encourage settlement and civlliza-
ton here-unless the charge is true
that no Is fsvoring the Democratic
South ct the expense of the Repub.
loan West. At least, we may rea-
sonably believe that be would not
have permitted prosecution of citi-
Gems who, settling upon the prairies
and sagebrush plains, must 60 to the
mountains for timber for lumber, fenc.
ing, and fuel. Also, We may believe
no would have vetoed the law (printed
elsewhere) which strikes a severe
blow at our mining interests by pro-
hibiting foreign investment. A law
TO prevent aliens from "gobbling up
immense tracts Of land las has been
done in the Southwest), with a oonse,
quent stop to the evils of British land
lordism, which has been transplanted
to America, would be highly COM
mendable; but the Allen or Plumb
law goes too far.
Also, had Mr.. Cleveland any 40
quaintance with the West, 1t is prob
able he would not have vetoed tn.
River and Harbor bill. The grea
eastern cities, having received abou
all the government aid they need fo
their harbors, are naturally averse t.
seeing help extended to the West, ane
the Presidents veto simply reflects
eastern sentinent-a sentiment b,
could hardly entertain had his mine
ever felt the broadening power o
travel and the strengthening effect o
association with the energetic, oour
ageous and patriotic people of tn
West. 's r..'----..
OF course, it would be difficult I,
determine the amount of knowledg
President should have of his coun
try; but no one believes that a maj
OF sufficient prominence to be a Pres
idsntial candidate could help acquir
